Yes, dogs can get symptoms of kennel cough after getting the vaccine, but they are usually mild. If it's related to the vaccine, you typically see symptoms two to five days after receiving the vaccine, and the symptoms can last up until a week. I hope this helps!

Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease of dogs characterized by a severe honking cough. It is typically a self-limiting disease, with symptoms resolving in three to four weeks. Vaccines can prevent the spread of kennel cough, although it does not guarantee protection. This is because kennel cough is caused by so many different infectious agents. I hope this helps!
